Hi everybody! I have to confess that I love this chapter and the connection between Lauren and Dyson. It could have been longer but sometimes it is not really necessary. So… Enjoy!

Chapter 7

"Aahhhh!" shouted the man.

Lauren awoke with a start. What was happening? She got out of bed and leaned over Dyson who slept on the floor. As they were pretending to be husband and wife and that in any case they had only found this motel as a shelter, they had come to an arrangement.

"Dyson! Are you okay?" called the anxious young woman holding the man by the shoulders.

"Yes ... no ... I do not know! What happens to me?" He asked, dipping his gaze in that of Lauren hoping to find answers to his questions.

"I'm not sure, but it may be that your memory begins to come back to you through your dreams or nightmares if I consider tonight. Do you want to talk about it? This could help you."

"It is not clear! There were several. You were there too, and there were two other women, no ... three. Then I remember a fire, or rather a bird of fire. A woman fought. And then there was also a small man. The brunette woman killed him! What is it? Tell me! Is what I'm going crazy? "

"Reassure yourself you're not crazy. Sometimes a little silly, stubborn and grumpy but not crazy." joked the doc, just to relax the wolf.

"You think this is funny? Not me," growled Dyson.

"Okay. I'm sorry. I just don't want that you dramatize everything too much. Everything you saw in your dream actually happened a year ago, when we were fighting against the Garuda. The brunette woman of your dream is none other than Bo, and the little man her grandfather Trick who is also the Lord of Blood. Garuda had seized the Trick's body it is why in your vision Bo had to kill him. But don't worry about him she was able to bring him back due to a life essence from her grandmother. By the way... it is a long story"

Dyson listened to Lauren dissect his nightmare. He tried to figure out every information that she was giving him.

"What does that mean?"

"This is good news Dyson. Your memory is coming back." A broad smile lit up the face of the young woman. She was really happy for her companion.

"Really?" The Doc nodded in response.

"Listen Dyson, if you take the bed tonight to forget all your emotions and have a good sleeping."

"And if we shared? In all honor!"

Lauren rolled her eyes before giving its approval. They continued to talk for a moment before falling into the arms of Morpheus.

Dyson awoke. He felt a weight on his chest. When he looked, he saw a blonde hair that rested over him. The more carefully he placed a lock of hair behind the ear of the young woman. She was beautiful. He stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. She let out a groan. "How can one let go someone like you?" whispered D-man. Unable to retain himself, he kissed her lips. Without opening her eyes, Lauren replied. "Bo, I missed you so much!" Then, opening her eyes and realizing her mistake she jumped out of bed. Anger and misunderstanding could be seen on her face.

"Dyson! What are you doing for heaven's sake?"

"What did I do wrong?" naively asked the wolf.

"You request? Why did you kiss me?"

"Why a man kisses a woman? You're beautiful, kind. You worry more for others than for yourself. I want to give you what you deserve Lauren, unconditional love. Let me take care of you."

Lauren was lost. She wondered where she had sinned. When had she given to the wolf the impression that she might have feelings for him?

"Dyson, you can't love me ... you must not love me otherwise than a friend."

"Why? How long will you wait for your Bo? Has she made you happy? When did she cared about you as much as I care about you now." argued Dyson.

"Love is not white or black! It is true, Bo did some mistakes, but I also. I know that I would probably never see her again, but deep in my heart no one can replace the love I feel for her. She is my soul mate Dyson and she will be forever."

A torrent of tears flooded the face of young blonde woman.

"I'm so sorry Lauren. Forgive me." begged the wolf.
"I'll be late to the clinic. I must prepare myself."

She locked herself in the bathroom. What happened in that room? How could they overcome this episode? Is that incident gone to end their friendship? The hot water in the shower was able to appease her. When she left the bathroom, Dyson was not there.

The work day at the clinic was a blessing. Lauren was so busy that she had completely forgotten the episode on this morning. Patients flowed incessantly. To believe that there were no other hospitals in the Montreal area.

When she returned to the motel Dyson had already left for work. "So much better," she thought. She knew that sooner or later they will have to discuss what had happened that morning, but right now all she wanted was her bed. She was just lying when she heard banging.

"Yasmina! What are you doing here at this hour?" questioned Lauren.
"I'm sorry my dear, but it could not wait."

The tone of her friend worried her.

"I have had a visitor. A young blonde woman came to ask me questions about you and your friend Dyson." explained the black woman.

Lauren turned pale. How had they done to trace them so quickly? Where has she done a mistake?

"What did you say?"

"Not much. I told her that it had been years since we had lost sight of us. She did not press more than that."

"She told you anything else?"

"She just gave me her name and number of her hotel room so that I can contact her if I ever saw you."

Lauren took the paper that Yasmina handed to her. "Tamsin!" Finally. The Valkyrie was quickly recovered from his injuries. She must contact Dyson faster.

"Can you call your friend detective to tell me where Dyson is?"

Yasmina dialed the agency immediately. Dyson was hideout on St Denis, at the bar Le St Sulpice.

Lauren quickly left the room. The bar was only a few minutes walk. She peered around trying to spot Dyson. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her face and pulled her back.

She found herself in a dark alley face to face with the wolf.

"That's twice Dyson! You really want me to have a heart attack! "

"But what are you doing here? Why are you not in bed sleeping? "

"I suddenly felt like to have a drink!" replied the young woman sarcastic.

Dyson regretted right away his surly behavior.

"Sorry Lauren. Tell me what happens»

"We spotted!"

"How that? Who? "

"Your police partner Tamsin. I do not know how, but she managed to climb up to Yasmina. "

"Does she know where we are?"

"No. Yasmina drowned the fish, but it is too dangerous for me. "

"You mean for us!"

Dyson intensely stared at her eyes and he understood.

"I will not let you handle it alone Lauren. I can protect you and you know it!" growled the wolf.

"You do not understand Dyson. I will always be a slave or a fugitive for your world. If they catch me, you will not be able to do anything against them. These are yours Dyson, you must join them. With them you will have a chance to quickly regain your memories."

"Do not ask me that Lauren I beg you. If something happened to you I will want myself for all my life. "

"Nothing will happen to me ... I promise." stated Lauren smiling at him, one hand on the cheek of the man.

Dyson smiled. He hugged the girl and placed a long kiss on her lips. She did not step away from him and kissed him in return. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

She slipped a paper in hand Dyson.

"This is the name of the hotel where Tamsin is down. Go to her. One last service Dyson ... when you will see Bo, tell her I never stopped loving her." asked Lauren in a last sob.

She put a farewell kiss on the cheek of the man and left.
